Hi! we survived the weekend  ;D DS was sooo tired, I don't think  he's had three days like this before! Anyway, yesterday he slept well and we're back to normal, phew.

So this morning he woke at 5.15, but went back to sleep quite quickly without help and slept till 6.22  ;D Nap at 10, 1h10, nap at 3, 30 mins, not great but I think he'll manage bt at 7. With a A time of 3.40ish this morning he didn't sleep a lot like last week, so do you think I should still go for fixed morning nap at 10.15 whatever the wu?

Yay, I hope you enjoyed it though? It can be so tiring for you too!

Yep, I think it's time to set the naps, shall we give it a go for a week and see? It's not so much of a push, but it'll be good to see if he settles into it xx

It was nice to see our friends, although the journey there was horrible and their little one was teething and being very difficult, so everyone was very tired!

Ok, will try with 10.15 tomorrow  :o fingers crossed he doesn't wake too early, do I stick with it if he does?

Yep, I would just to see how it goes, remember it might take a few days for him to settle into it, so there might be OT naps here and there. Saying that, it's not too large a jump in A so it shouldn't be too bad, fingers crossed xx

wu today 6.20!  ;D It seems that if he doesn't poo then he sleeps longer as there was no poo yesterday and today and other mornings when he woke later. Should be ok for nap at 10.15 now, let's see what happens...

Not very well, he nearly fell asleep in the pushchair, then when we got back I put him down after a bit and only slept for 25 mins (I think, not sure if I got the time right)! Went to sleep well at 7 though, 5 mins and he was gone!
All in all quite good as a first try. Do you think I should always wake him at 1h30 from his am nap?

Yes I do, or else he won't take that second nap. I wouldn't worry about being at home for that one, a car nap, or pushchair nap is fine. And around 30mims is absolutely great actually. An extra 10mims might have been nice but hey ho, who's to moan about 10mins?  ;)

Let me know how the night and wu goes xx

That nap is not as important.. You'll probably have to apop it later down the line anyway so it might be good that he gets used to being out and about.. Might make the transition easier compared to mine who was apop-resistant! Boo to the cough xx

We are thinking about enrolling him for swimming lessons again (we stopped in May for the summer) and the only one suitable is on Saturdays at 11.30. Do you think if we go with it, I should put him down for am nap a bit early, say at 10 and just give him an hour and let him sleep longer in the afternoon, if he does? thanks! xx

Yep, could try that as it's only once a week. He'll be more likely to sleep longer in the afternoons as swimming is quite tiring xx

Cool, thanks!

we had a nw at 3.35, seemed like he was about to cry then settled himself, wu 5.40, he was happy in his cot till 6 then started crying. I kept him in there till 6.15, but not happy!  >:(

ETA: Despite the earlier wu I managed to keep him up till 10, put him down at 10.05, asleep at 10.08, had to wake him at 11.40. Pm nap: 3-3.30ish, coughed and woke himself up  >:( he's coughing quite a bit, annoying

Coughs are annoying and there's not much you can do but ride them out I'm afraid. DD had one. Recently and I swore she was up all night coughing. A day or two later she can a car nap as we were out and about and she just coughed in her sleep and carried on again. I know she didn't wake up as I was watching her and her sleep cycle (car nap) lasts 40 mins xx
